I think also the Monte Carlo M5 in the picture is a really mean tease intentional or otherwise! Looks beautiful, even just the glimpse of it - such a stunning colour. I hope the 2014's will have a Monte Carlo option. That would be gorgeous!


I get what you're saying about it being forward, but man, it just looks beefier up there. Who's to say it has the SAME bulge as M3? Could be a redesign, no? Isnt a bulge on an M3 to accomodate different engine and different cooling? It has function.
Can anyone think of why the new (speculated) engine might need a larger hood near the front?
